A NEW DAY

 

It is a new day today

Surely a new thing is bound to happen

That will shake the spirit to stoic with surprises

There is no more past but only the sweet presence

That hovers around freely and sweetly

Now the day maybe young but the ability

To be old is not lost forever

Swiftly and steadily let all hands be on deck

Exhausting today only brings in a new day

What is to be done in a day deepens

On the hands willing to use the day at its best

Because by divine wisdom

The paramount day is made known to this hand

The day goes solo and waits for no one

Not even for a friend; for it has no friend

But can be friends to only those ahead of it

Catch the day young and use it to the fullest

And when it is old and less effective and active sleep with it

For each day comes with a new sin to be forgiven

A new ideal to be exploited and  utilized

Even as the lilies bloom with the breeze

Nature speaks for itself that indeed

It is a new day after all.
